The new addition to our family, Gibbs the Basset Hound. We already have a one year old Basset Hound named Ellie. Ellie is an awesome hound dog and we thought she would benefit from having a little friend. We found this puppy online and drove to Missouri to get him. It was a long day in the car, especially the kiddos. They were really good sports about it though, and I’m thankful for their Kindles.

Gibbs is cute and sweet, but he likes to bark, howl, and whine…at night. Having a puppy is similar to having an infant and it can be exhausting. He’s a keeper though. We already love him.

Today he goes for his first vet visit since we’ve had him, so we decided he needed a bath. Katie was so excited to help. Gibbs was too terrified to move at first, but he eventually warmed up and started playing in the sink. Hope he is this easy to bathe when he’s older…and bigger.
